Waazzuuuuuuup!

Holy moly it's been a long time! I've been so busy but I promise I will be back and on the regular. I'm hoping by August I will be posting a few times a week again. I have school right now which takes a good hour or so a day, then I am also taking a Living Foods Certification course that is on Saturdays. I actually haven't even really been on the computer that much at all. At night I've been reading so I've been missing out on all my shows too ; /  
I've been trying to work on some business stuff in between all this as well. I have been in the middle of designing an awareness journal, which I will be sharing with all of you very shortly. And I become a distributor for my favorite aromatherapy oils so I am super excited about that. 
The hubs has been home the last couple of weeks as well so we've been finally catching up on a lot of house stuff. Can't believe we've already been in our new house almost a year and still haven't put everything away. 
Anyway lots to share, hopefully tonight I can get a few pictures up and share some things before the day ends. 


I'll be back! (in my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, which by the way what a douche he ended up being!! UGH gross)


Peace and Love,
Jamie

Beachy hair! Silky hair!

Hey guys, for those of you who don't follow the Tone it Up girls, which you should, they posted this video a few weeks ago on how they get their beachy hair. I bought the John Masters sea salt spray and LOVE IT!

I just received an email from John Masters with a 25% coupon code that is good until May 30th for their new product....100% Argan Oil. I can't say enough good things about argan oil and this one is ORGANIC!!! ; )

Make it easy...

For those of you who want to eating more healthy fresh non-processed foods but find it to be a challenge or find every excuse in the book on why you can't....here's the deal..


Always have a well stocked fridge!


You have to wash everything as soon as you get home from the market and have it ready to grab and go in the fridge.
I always wash all my kale, de-stem it and tear into pieces then put in a baggy so when I am ready to make a salad or something it's ready to go. Broccoli and cauliflower gets washed and cut into pieces and bagged. Cucumbers get washed, ect...ect...
Makes it A LOT EASIER and do-able!

Washed and ready to be bagged in put in fridge!

Also having things like my hummus recipe in the fridge is a good idea. Apples, pears, nuts and seeds on hand...you get the idea!


Trust me..I don't feel like coming home from the store and washing veggies and stuff but I know it must be done!! Otherwise eating healthy is gonna be a lot more difficult. After doing it a few times it will become routine and won't suck as bad.....promise! 


A few other items I think you should have stocked at all times are:
Cold-pressed olive oil
Flax seed oil
Braggs Liquid Aminos
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
Celtic sea salt


Peace and Love,

Soooooo Delicious!

These are so good. Way better than regular fudgesicles and only 70 calories, dairy free and gluten free! And ORGANIC! ; )
You would never know they were made with coconut either, tastes like chocolate-liciousness.....mmmmmm

Quinoa Avocado Corn Salad

Oh my goodness deliciousness .. thanks again to Kimberly Snyder's The Beauty Detox book for this YUUUUUUMMY recipe!


I ended up with some corn in my Annie's Organic box this week which I normally wouldn't buy so I decided to give this recipe a try and so glad I did.


Quinoa, Avocado and Corn Salad


Base Ingredients:
3 cups of water
1 1/2 cups of dry quinoa (be sure to soak overnight and rinse well before using)
Raw kernels of 2 ears of organic corn (preferably white, shaved right from the cob)
2 avocados, sliced and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 Tablespoons of red onion, chopped fine


Dressing Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos
1 Tablespoon brown rice vinegar


In saucepan bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat, add the quinoa and simmer until the water is absorbed and the grains become translucent and soft (about 10-15 min). Pour the quinoa thru a strainer and set aside in a bowl to cool.


*NOTE: To make life easier without having to soak quinoa overnight, strain it ect... buy the Sprouted Quinoa by TruRoots and just follow the directions on the back, let cool and set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Blend all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl, whisk well with a fork.

*NOTE: I didn't have any brown rice vinegar so I just left it out. So my dressing ingredients were only the lemon, olive oil and Braggs Liquid Aminos

Add the kernels of corn to the quinoa (not hot quinoa, make sure it has cooled), along with the avocado and chopped onion. Mix. Pour dressing on top and mix again.

Perfect summer salad....best also eaten on top of a bed of baby spinach!

Peace and Love,
